We had a really good call last night. Infamous played through most of the DLC, and he's nearly finished with it. He's taking a lot longer than Cinderelliot did, but he's going faster than a lot of people I know. The first several hours of the call where focused on this play-through, which was a lot like Cinderelliot's play-through with a bigger audience.
Anyway, the really interesting thing about the call is that Kvinne, Vato, and Fabian all joined. I learned for the first time that Fabian was black. I was really surprised. He told us that he gets yelled at by other black people all the time for having a "white voice," and that he thinks the left is basically anti-white and cancerous at this point. Kvinne of course agreed, because she hates those kind of people as well. Fabian is worried this could lead to a civil war. Vato and Infamous really didn't say quite as much, which makes me think he was more sympathetic to the other side, though he did seem bothered by some of the more egregious examples of left-wing behavior.
We eventually got onto the subject of Obama not really deserving the Nobel Peace Prize, and talking about how they clearly gave it to him because he was black. There was also a brief conversation about whether it made sense for people to identify as a gender they weren't born as, how feminine wasn't the same thing as female, etc. Shortly after that, Infamous came back, and Kvinne put out this random and awkward joke about him identifying as a female. We all scratched our heads, but then the conversation went back to the game, and Infamous soon reached the final shrine in the game.
He had a lot of trouble with this one puzzle where he was trying to slide one locking mechanism into another because Fabian told him to. The whole ordeal sounded very Freudian because they were talking about shoving things into other things. And then in the end, it turned out Fabian remembered wrong and the two things were only supposed to touch from the side, not actually be inside each other. I couldn't resist joking that perhaps he had remembered something other than the puzzle from the game.
I hope we have more good calls like that soon.
